In comic books , theatrical role who die seldom quell dead . After DC Comics ’ controversial selling stunt “ The Death of Superman , ” it was n’t long before Kal - El was resurrected . TheMarvel Cinematic Universeis no dissimilar . Loki has “ died ” a fistful of fourth dimension , and he keeps coming back . To be bonny , in this case , he is the deceiver god , but he ’s not the only one .

However , the MCU also has some character deaths that should remain lasting to preserve their impact . So , here are five dead MCU role who could reelect in the futurity , as well as five who will definitely stay dead .

Could Come Back: Quicksilver

Although the Evan Peters avatar of the character in Fox’sX - Menmovies was incredibly well - receive by fans , the MCU ’s Quicksilver leave a lot to be want . Aaron Taylor - Johnson has the range to run a great Quicksilver , but he gravel the poor end of the stick inAvengers : Age of Ultron .

Aside from a couple of back - and - Forth with Hawkeye about whether or not they saw thing coming , he did n’t really get much of a delineation . With Scarlet Witch likelywarping reality to convey back VisioninWandaVision , we could be seeing her chum Quicksilver again .

Definitely Stay Dead: Thanos

Thanos was the Big Bad of the Infinity Saga   — the corporate name given to the first 23 installing of the MCU —   so to make for him back following the Avengers ’ triumphant frustration would negate the emotional catharsis of that flood tide .

There ’s a chance that a past reading of the unrestrained Titan could look in movies and television shows set in the beginning on the dealership ’s timeline , orhe could show up alongside the Eternals . But he wo n’t be resurrected because it would removethe weight of Tony Stark ’s sacrifice .

Could Come Back: Mysterio

After using his legions of drones to stage a terrorist attack in London that he intend to frustrate , Quentin Beck seemed to die . He screwed over Peter Parker one last time as he posthumously released footage via the Daily Bugle that revealed   Peter ’s   surreptitious indistinguishability to the earthly concern and framed him for the plan of attack .

Mysterio ’s whole deal is creating naturalistic trick , so there ’s a chance that he ’s still alive , mastermind the dirt with the brass instrument at the Bugle andpaving the way for the formation of the Sinister Six .

Definitely Stay Dead: Gamora

There ’s a luck that Gamora will show up inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 , as her 2014 ego was brought to 2023 inAvengers : Endgameanda deleted view shows her fly the battlefield , butthe Gamora that we came to know and lovethroughout the first twoGuardiansfilms and much ofAvengers : eternity Waris for good dead .

She die on Vormir so that Thanos could assume the Soul Stone and convey out his harebrained plan to wipe out one-half of all the life sentence in the universe . If Gamora does show up inVol . 3 , she ’ll be a completely different character and her development will be back to square one .

Could Come Back: The Ancient One

The death of the Ancient One seemed moderately permanent in 2016’sDoctor Strange , as it was set up that thaumaturge ca n’t see past their own demise , and she could n’t see the events after the daytime that she die . But on the other hand , magic is magical . Anything is possible .

Stephen Strange islikely about to become the Sorcerer Supreme in an prescribed capacity , and he ’s also about the expression “ the Multiverse of Madness . ” He might require the Ancient One ’s aid , which could expect a dangerous resurrection spell .

Definitely Stay Dead: Yondu

At the end ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , Yondu sacrifices himself to save his adopted son , Peter Quill . It ’s one of the MCU ’s most grievous minute .

When a sports fan asked James Gunn on social medium , “ Will you ever bestow Yondu back?,”Gunn replied , “ Not to lifetime , no . If a character dies in my films , they will likely remain bushed . I conceive stake are important . ” There ’s a luck that Yondu will reappear in a flashback or a prequel , but he ’s not coming back to life .

Could Come Back: Hela

Cate Blanchett clearly relished the opportunity to play a snarling villain in the mold of Maleficent or Ursula within the curiously clownlike flavor set by Taika Waititi when she portrayed Thor ’s malevolent long - lost half - sister Hela inThor : Ragnarok .

The end of the movie seemed to suggest that Hela died with Asgard , but since we did n’t see it literally take place , fans ’ fingers are spoil in the hopes that she ’ll return in the future .

Definitely Stay Dead: Natasha Romanoff

Natasha Romanoff ’s least sandpiper in the MCU is n’t over as she ’s finally getting a solo movie to kick off Phase 4 ( althoughits release has been postponed due to coronavirus , and it remains ill-defined when we ’ll get to see it ) , but she wo n’t be resurrected to appear in next sequels .

Her standalone outing is a prequel fructify betweenCaptain America : Civil WarandAvengers : Infinity War . It ’s been heavily implied by both Red Skull himself and the Gamora plot line that Soul Stone deaths are lasting .

Could Come Back: Erik Killmonger

Rumors of Erik Killmonger appear in the upcomingBlack Panthersequel have mainly arisen because fans praised him asone of the MCU ’s most complex and interesting villainsand are n’t ready to say goodbye . If he ’s literally revive , it would reverse some of his development and take out the impact of his “ Death was dear than bondage ” monologue .

But he was a Black Panther who use up the Heart - Shaped Herb , sohe could seem in the Ancestral Planealongside all the other departed Black Panthers .

Definitely Stay Dead: Tony Stark

Multiplexes across the world were flood with tear when Robert Downey , Jr. made his net coming into court as Tony Stark inAvengers : Endgame . Tony give his living for the swell good , proving once and for all that he was a better guy than his Father of the Church and that you could be damn well sure he ’d avenge the Earth .

Per the comics , Tony ’s awareness could rejoin as an A.I. to read bedtime report to Morgan orendorse Riri Williams as his successor , but Tony Stark , in his forcible variant , is kick the bucket .
